Time-dependent current-density-functional theory (TDCDFT) provides an in principle exact scheme to calculate efficiently response functions for a very broad range of applications. However, the lack of approximations valid for a range of parameters met in experimental conditions has so far delayed its extensive use in inhomogeneous systems. On the other side, in many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) accurate approximations are available, but at a price of a higher computational cost. In the present work the possibility of combining the advantages of both approaches is exploited. In this way an exact equation for the exchange-correlation kernel of TDCDFT is obtained, which opens the way for a systematic improvement of the approximations adopted in practical applications. Finally, an approximate kernel for an efficient calculation of spectra of solids and molecular conductances is suggested and its validity discussed.
